   You don't say!   
      
   If you had done what I suggested, you would have found out that, among other   
   (La)TeX-related endeavors,   
      
   - I have written (La)TeX-like texts on Usenet many times before and continue   
     to do so (when more convenient);   
      
   - I have written a LaTeX 2e package for generating spacetime diagrams;   
      
   - I have improved a Personal Dictionary for Gboard with which one can   
     type LaTeX(-like) shortcuts on an Android-based device to produce   
     corresponding Unicode character( sequence)s;   
      
   - I have published several documents (scientific works) that were   
     generated using LaTeX, not least my first BSc thesis.   
      
   So your claiming that I, of all people, would not know about TeX, is   
   probably one of the most ridiculous claims that I will read this year --   
   and the year has just started.   
      
   But you are not even interested in the truth, are you?

   You have no clue what you are talking about.
